Show the Parade Already!

At 9 AM, WFSB - Channel 3 - the local CBS affiliate and WVIT - Channel 30 - the local ABC affiliate began broadcasting the NYC Thanksgiving Day Parade in name only.

I have been switching between the two broadcasts for 45 minutes and I have seen about 2 minutes of the actual parade. The rest of the time has been filled with acts from Broadway shows and commercials for junk to buy for Christmas.

Show the parade already!!!
